Just one little question though, why don't SkS and WB5 use PNG directly?

You mean the same amount of redraw that semi-transparent window borders have when "drag entire window" is turned on, and have no jerkiness? What if you take the transparency functions of WinFX to make the taskbar fully transparent and then overlay the more opaque bits on top of that? obviously doing it exactly like that might be a litle hefty performance-wise, but isn't there some way of doing it efficiently? <a href=
I did get that, but why??
Right now, the taskbar seems not to realize there are applications underneath it, I'm guessing that's a problem with the whole false transparency issue that's been mentioned earlier, but there are plenty of other programs (including WindowFX) that do taskbar transparencies properly, I'm just not seeing why WB5 should have a problem with it. I have a screenshot, but I can't get it onto my website for some reason.
